How many more people have to die and how many more people have to lose their homes before we finally unite and agree that climate change is a very serious threat to all of us?
Natural climate change is very slow. Man-made climate change is occurring at a much faster rate. The Earth has never seen the climate change this fast in the fossil record................
No, natural climate change is NOT very slow. And it is dramatic.
Here is a book for you to read put out by University of California Press. It is written by a professor that DOES believe man-caused climate change. Read the book and notice how dramatic natural climate change was in past years.
Print out or enlarge the brochure on your screen. The brochure shows where the glaciers were for each year since 1751?? Anyway, be sure to copy the scale and use that to estimate how many miles the glaciers have retreated year by year since 1751.
The problem is that the 20th century in the western United States was much wetter and with fewer changes in weather than normal.
It is appears we might be heading back to normal weather in the western US. Not good news.
But read the book, it is a record of 10,000 years of climate change in the western US.
Floods, droughts, and wildfires have been happening since the earth was first formed. The climate is always and forever changing. Man cannot control the earth's climate.
The worst part of this is the melting at the poles more recently Antarctica although the Arctic is worse. We didn't need 2021 to prove that climate change is real, it's been happening for decades but if this year didn't get your attention nothing will.
OMG.. the poles are melting...… what do you think happens during EVERY interglacial period
or do you honestly believe we should be in forever glacial periods, where 1/2 to /34 of the earth is covered in ice... and humans (at least not 8 billion) can not exist
It's always amusing when people call NASA and other respected scientists part of a religion, sounds backwards since some republicans think only god can change the climate.
has nothing to do with god...has to do with beliefs
if the fanatical fascist liberals coax the scientists to believing their agenda to tax the world, make the liberals rich, and do NOTHING to prevent (because you can not prevent or stop climate change) the change, which is the religion they are SELLING..then yes it is a religion
And no proof that any of it had any connection to man's activities. As usual.
Nothing but the usual "It's scary and awful, so it MUST be man's fault!"
I know...very egotistical of the liberals... to think that man has caused the 24 shifts from glacial to interglacial periods... I mean OMG man stopped the glacial age (ice age) that ended 18,000 years ago..and man continues to warm (interglacial) the world
they are so egotistical, they must really believe that Atlas carries the world around the sun
they are so egotistical they they actually agree with Alex Jones, and think the HAARP machine (man made) has made all these disasters...they even accused WBush of sending (via HAARP) Katrina to N.O.L.A to "take out the back people"

I like this post. I don’t admit to being an environmentalist these days because I don’t want to be confused with the nutty “warmers.” But you raise real environmental concerns. My state government forces rural areas to let builders tear up all the undeveloped land to build housing complexes but charges a tax on gas because my fuel-efficient car is somehow destroying the earth. Honestly, sometimes I think the global warming thing is used in part to get people to ignore real environmental issues - many of which are caused by builders and other politically connected businesses. I’ve been hearing about the great flood since the late 80s. I lived in Jersey City for a time. There are spots in JC and Hoboken where the water in the bay comes right up to the concrete wall at high tide. I thought for sure it would have flooded by now. But it’s still at that same spot. I might have more faith in the warmers if any of their predictions came true in the past 30 plus years.
I suspect that gas tax is--as in other states--used to build and repair roads.
